Abstract (en)

[origin: US5329181A] In a programmable logic device having I/O blocks and logic blocks, two lines leading from a region including a logic block and an I/O block alternately provide a logic block output signal and its complement or a logic block output signal and an I/O block input signal. A multiplexer selects between providing on a line leading from an I/O block to an interconnect structure a first signal which is provided by the I/O block when the I/O block is an input buffer and a second signal which is the inverse of a logic signal provided to the I/O block when the I/O block is not an input buffer. Thus in one case two lines which extend from the I/O block to the interconnect structure may carry a) a logic block output signal and b) an I/O block output signal; and in the other case carry a) a logic block output signal and b) the inverse of the logic block output signal.
